- If your control box or receiver can't work with the new motor, a matching one is quoted before fitting.
- Where the cause of a stopped door is unclear, a diagnostic repair visit comes first, before any motor is ordered.

Rules that apply in Hove
Powered door safety
Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.
Electrics
An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.
Roller garage door motor replacement in Hove: questions
Do you charge more for Hove than other towns in East Sussex?
No. Guide prices are the same for Hove as for anywhere else we cover in East Sussex. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Hove?
Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Hove. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Hove?
If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Hove visit date is confirmed in writing.
Do you cover Hove?
Yes. Hove is part of the area we cover in East Sussex, including BN3, BN1 and BN41. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Should I replace the motor or the whole door?
Replace the motor when the rest of the door is sound: the curtain runs straight, the laths are undamaged, and the guides and barrel are in good order. If several major parts are worn, or the door has other recurring faults, a new door may be better value. The engineer will tell you plainly what they find.
Can you replace the motor on any make of roller door?
We replace tubular motors on electric roller garage doors of any make, provided a compatible motor is available for the barrel size and curtain weight. Send us details of the control box and the door size and we'll confirm before booking. If a matching motor isn't available, we'll explain the options, including a new control box or a new door.
